Oddball Design FB challenge - August

Image
Hello!  It's time for a new challenge on the FB group of Oddball Design .  And for this I decided to use the wonderful image 296 which you can find here . The background for this journaling that was done in a modified book was done with brushos.  I love that you can't really know in advance how this is going to turn out!  I used a stamp border to do the edge.  The image was colored with my copics and I used some prima chalk ink around the sentiment. If you don't have any images from Oddball you should go and check out the great Etsy store and you can use this code DTVICKY10 to get a 10% discount on your purchases. Hope you enjoy your day and your stay creative!!! Hugs

How does your garden grow - Midway point - Scribbles challenge

Image
This is a sad post!!!  It's my last post (at least for now) on the Scribbles Design Team .  I have had so much fun in that team.  Such wonderful ladies in it and of course Sandy the wonderful artist!!! For this last post which is the midway point of the challenge How does your garden grow, I decided to use the wonderful   A68 Smile sparkle and shine .  I think it really represents this team and the challenge :) This image was made into a postcard.  I'm sure that it will brighten someone's day.  I used my coloring pencils for this as well as my gel pens. I hope you are staying creative and please come back since there will be one more post coming up!!! Hugs

The east Wind - Stars and planet

Image
Hello!  It's already time for a new challenge over at  The East Wind  and it's about stars and planet. The freebie that you get if you are registered for the newsletter is totally YUMMY!!!!  You will adore it! I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do here.   But in the end the inspiration just popped right on over :)  I found a quote online that I thought was going to be perfect for this. Here's my journaling done in my dylusion journal. the quote was done using my brother label maker.  I added a bunch of gold and silver sequin stars.  The background was done using my black pan pastel. Here's a closer look at the image colored with my copics in light blues.  The hair looks white in the picture :( but it's a light blue! I hope you will come and join us in the challenge this time around.  And if you are not registered for the newsletter what is stopping you?!? Have a fabulous day everyone!!! Hugs

Lahla Lady Drake - Faery Ink birthday card

Image
Lahla Lady Drake  was the ideal image to use for my daughter's birthday card. My daughter happens to adore dragons!!!  And I think this is the 3rd year that I make her a card using an image from Faery ink :)  Just have to say that Amanda draws the best dragons and ladies to go with them!!! Without further ado let's look at this card. Because I've been doing so many mixed media pieces it was strange to do a card.  But I'm very happy to report that my daughter loved it! I used papers from Hey girl by Basic Grey.  The flower is from Prima (it's been forever since I used one of those!!!).  I added some washi tape for the border at the bottom and the paper under the sentiment was cut using a Quick cutz die.  The image was of course colored with my copics. Hope you have a fabulous Sunday everyone. Hugs

Queen Collector - Karleigh Sue

Image
Hello!  It's the 30th of July and the halfway point of my vacation :( It's ok... still a week to go.  I'm preparing this post in advance but I know that this is what I will be feeling lol I'm here today to share with you an inspiration for Karleigh Sue digis .  The image that I'm using is the Queen Collector . I have to admit that I'm totally OBSESSED with colloring books as well as with coloring pencils.  So this image was the perfect for me!!! The image was colored with my copics as well as some zig pen for the crown.  The image was fussy cut afterwards.  I used my coloring pencils and my gel pens for the coloring book page. I really ADORE using my coloring book as a background.  Hoping that at the end my coloring book will be a nice journal. I found a quote about a collector online and wrote it in the middle.  I love how it personalized this even more and it was very appropriate :) Have a fab day and hope you are creative!!! Hugs
